THAT's ME TO THE LEFT JUST 5 YEARS FROM NOW!!!!!!!!

Never be afraid to try something new. Amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic

For woodenware I really like Western Bee. I've found their cheapest grades similar to commercial grade from other guys.http://www.westernbee.com/

Queens - I like B Weaver's. Their All-American's are just a steady, reliable bee. Really calm on the comb, good producers and their offspring are just as good. Just checked the hives and all 9 are strong and heavy. This is the second year I haven't treated for mites!

I'm pretty lucky I guess. I get my stuff from Jones Bee Company. About a ten minute drive. I'm ordering packages from koehnen in California. Jones will sell bees too.. but they don't want to take any orders until mid Feb.

I've gotten my stuff from Mann Lake -- except for a hive tool and a set of frame holders that just showed up on m dorrsteps!!! I'll be making my own hive boxes, but buying frames from Mann Lake, unless one of the other suppliers mentioned here has a better deal.

I've purchased beekeeping supplies from Mann Lake, Betterbee & Dadant. As far as package bees I bought from B Weaver last year and have an order with R Weaver for this coming spring. I have been happy with the products I have received from all the above suppliers. My complaint is with shipping cost they are just brutal I wish I could find a supplier who offers free shipping on orders over a certain amount.
